We can add #PixelFed accounts but PixelFed.social is not receiving the follow request from #Hubzilla and #Osada .

#Mastodon and #Pleroma (latest versions for both) can add PixelFed too. PixelFed sees the request and shows up as "Followers". However, when PixelFed follows back, Mastodon and Pleroma doesn't receive any request.

Posted two new images in PixelFed but none were seen in Hubzilla, Pleroma, Isada, nor Mastodon.

Tested on pixelfed.social

Take a holiday break all of you devs of these projects. 😊 These are just notes.

Same behaviors on my instance. We receive toot with Mastodon's images, but the images are not visible. There is an error about the format.

Hey #fediverse #osada #hubzilla #diaspora #socialhome #pleroma #misskey #mastodon #gnusocial

Get ready for #Facebook refugees too. FB has released a new ToS and started deleting groups and pages. The most common, those discussing about sex, nudity, and erotica, even if it was just part of cerative fiction, in text or images, subtle or not.

What's with the sudden changes and immediate bans? First it was #Tumblr now it's Facebook.

@yahananxie Have you tried again recently with Pleroma? We just fixed following and federation within the last few weeks.

Mike Macgirvin

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 02:15:51 +0000

My tests with write.as haven't gone smoothly.

We normally strip trailing slashes from URLs (as in #^https://write.as/macgirvin/ ) because many services won't recognise the person if it's included. Write.as won't recognise the person if it's missing, so this presents a fun little paradox.

Anyway once that was fixed I connected to my write.as blog. Nothing happened on the other end. No notifications, nothing. I have no idea if the follow was accepted or not. I then made a blog post and my Osada server didn't see any inbound traffic so I'm guessing the follow may have failed. I did have federation turned on. This switch is sort of hidden, but once I found it I started over with the testing and got the same results.

At this point I probably need to wait for the Write.as ActivityPub implementation to solidify a bit before trying again.

@Write.as Yep, the post was dated November 28 after creating a new one. I checked today and the post still did not show up in the two Pleroma sites I tested yesterday. I haven't created a new post yet.

@yahananxie Did you make sure the @yuki blog was properly followed from Pleroma? You might need to unfollow and follow it again, then make the post, to get it to work. Because following a blog from Pleroma wasn't working before early November (and so new posts wouldn't be delivered).

Maybe now that ForkAwesome have fediverse font icons, fediverse projects can include ForkAwesome by default so we can use those font icons!

More recently, an article about Mastodon’s wider ecosystem — termed “the fediverse” — made it to the front page of Hacker News: “What is ActivityPub, and how will it change the internet?”, by Jeremy Dormitzer.

The correct is: #ActivityPub 's ecosystem/network.

ActivityPub is not #Mastodon. It wasn't even the first in the fediverse nor was it chosen as a flagship implementation of AP (I have yet to see any claiming such). Speaking of the #fediverse, it is not AP nor Mastodon. The fediverse is beyond ActivityPub, it includes #Zot (#Hubzilla, #Osada, #Zap), #diaspora (diaspora, #Socialhome, Hubzilla), #OStatus (#GNUsocial, #Friendica, Hubzilla, etc.), #dfrn (Friendica), at least according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

The rest of the article is good. I am not anti-Mastodon, I just want to correct the inaccurate notion that ActivityPub and Mastodon are interchangeable, as is commonly written; and the incorrect idea that Mastodon is the center of it all, which we also commonly see. Give ActivityPub what it is due. ActivityPub is the center of ActivityPub.

The newer download file format is fairly usable. On my list is at least a way to sanely import photos. Comments and conversations would probably require an add-on to store them and display them - at least in some archive format. Would be a good project for someone with PHP skilz wanting to get their feet wet.

Replacing one centralized service with another hoping that they won't break their promises or change their terms of service and become just as bad as the last one is really not much of a solution.

Yuki (雪亮) 🇵🇭 🌃

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 03:00:52 +0000

Yep, it seems people quitting Facebook are choosing MeWe. I just continue to remind them that replacing a centralised system with another is not the solution. That they should seriously consider the Fediverse, there's Osada, Socialhome, Diasporr (main), and Hubzilla. There's even PeerTube and PixelFed.

I think some of them have put the Fediverse within their radar. They'll probably start jumping over if something blows up from MeWe, not that we want to, so far they're an ally against FB.

Dr. Sam PhD

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 04:45:12 +0000 from Diaspora

However, that other centralised system, mewe, is not a surveillance site like fb. Also, anything one posts on fb belongs to fb (as it reads in fb tos), in mewe, the data still belongs to the user.

Bye OStatus!

Yuki (雪亮) 🇵🇭 🌃

Verses.Space, Fri, 26 Oct 2018 01:18:49 +0000

Turning-off #OStatus connectivity/support in my channels (and instance/hub) later today. I will be disconnecting from OStatus connected contacts/followers prior to turning the feature off.

If your software and/or instance has still not implemented #ActivityPub it is time to move to #Osada, #Hubzilla, #Friendica, #Pleroma, or #Misskey. AP replaced OStatus so it means OStatus is old and should be dropped completely. As far as I know, only Hubzilla, Friendica, and #Mastodon is maintaining OStatus support.

Well, we all know there is only one "ecosystem" still stuck in OStatus… #GNUsocial and its forks. I hope to see them again once they upgrade to ActivityPub. So… see you when I see you … in the #Fediverse!

Google Plus is Shutting Down!

Yuki (雪亮) 🇵🇭 🌃

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 22:23:00 +0000

Could be an opportunity specifically for #Hubzilla, #Osada, #Zap, #Socialhome, and #diaspora.

Non-enterprise Google+ will shutdown on 2019-08-31. It's not clear if Business Pages and Community Groups are included. Since these two are integral and were built on top of Google+, hundreds if not thousands of Pages and Groups have to find a new home, a new platform.

They probably still need to separate the public and business G+ platforms completely and give a chance for the users of the public platform to export whatever they need to keep. 10 months left.

Personally, I think they were already planning to do this, things were pushed early because of the discovery of the hack. They've completely forgotten about it, and with the exemption of Feedburner (since it probably doesn't consume much), they tend to shutdown forgotten products.

@Nick Ka Yep, but hopefully it will be some export file as well so we will have a chance to import it to Hubzilla somehow. I recalling the announce on common [url=https://datatransferproject.dev/]Data Transfer Protocol[/ur;].

Yuki (雪亮) 🇵🇭 🌃

Thu, 11 Oct 2018 00:56:39 +0000

Ahh, yep, the Data Transfer. This will be a very good time to implement it fully and see it in action.

I think for the Fediverse it's just a matter of who's willing to code it. The way I understood DTP is it's sort of a unified "language" or set of data. How to label and arrange "boxes" so other networks can unbox it properly for their own use and system.

And then submitting to the DTP the transfer and auth code for a particular service/software so the DTP itself can handle it and make it automatic, without the user needing to export and import manually.

At least it's how I understood it.

Father of World Wide Web Launches Radical Startup to Take Back the Internet from Google & Facebook

Yuki (雪亮) 🇵🇭 🌃

Tue, 02 Oct 2018 00:52:16 +0000

As described on the Solid and Inrupt websites the new platform will allow users to have complete control over their information ‘pods’ (an acronym for “personal online data store”) — it is only they who will decide whether outside apps and sites will be granted access to it, and to what extent.

Unlike Facebook or Twitter where all user information ultimately resides in centralized data centers and servers under control of the companies, applications on Inrupt will compete for users based on the services they can offer, and only the users can grant these apps “views” into their data, making personal data instantly portable between similar applications.

@yahananxie Well my issue with most servers on acttivity pub is that they dont liberate your data. There is no way I can move all my posts and followers to a new server. If someone wants to ban me I loose it all and have to start over. So if even if they move to ActivityPub I dont see that as solving the issue I am addressing here.

Wed, 03 Oct 2018 07:45:29 +0000

@🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 Ahh! I see. For that feature, there are only two that comes close: #Hubzilla and #Osada. Although you have to reconnect to AP connections, it's pretty much easier since those are cloned, you just have to force a new connection, they're listed in your connections list.

I'm not aware of any other Fediverse software with the Nomadic feature that Hubzilla and Osada offers. There is Zap of course, but it's strictly no AP (Osada is Zap with AP built-in).

Have you tried Hubzilla or Osada?

So, #ActivityPub is slowly gaining adoption. #Friendica will release AP support this December 2018. A new platform, #Osada is also federating with AP (and its own, Zot6). Then there is #Socialhome preparing for ActivityPub as well (while already connected to diaspora*).

Still missing in the game: main #diaspora software, #pumpIO, and #GNUsocial (and its forks).
